Elon Musk tweets ‘peace plan’ for Russia-Ukraine war. Chaos ensues.

Musk’s plan began with this suggestion: “Redo elections of annexed regions under UN supervision. Russia leaves if that is [the] will of the people.”

His second point? “Crimea formally part of Russia, as it has been since 1783 (until Khrushchev’s mistake).”

Here, Musk was repeating a selective version of the history of the Crimean Peninsula, one that closely aligns with the Kremlin’s. He didn’t, of course, acknowledge the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, in which Russia agreed to respect Ukraine’s territorial integrity, including Crimea. Moscow annexed Crimea in 2014.

His final two points called for Ukraine to remain “neutral” and for the water supply to Crimea to be “assured.”

“This is highly likely to be the outcome in the end — just a question of how many die before then,” Musk said of his plan.

At 5 p.m. Eastern time, more than 1.6 million votes were cast in the Twitter poll, with 63.2 percent voting “no” and 36.8 percent voting “yes.”

There were some notable responses.

The official Twitter account of Ukraine’s parliament responded, simply, “No.” The Ukrainian ambassador to Germany, Andrij Melnyk, has some choice words for Musk.

“F— off is my very diplomatic reply to you @elonmusk,” he said.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky put up a Twitter poll of his own: Which @elonmusk do you like more?” There were two possible answers: “One who supports Ukraine” and “One who supports Russia.” At 5 p.m., the former one was winning.

But even amid the harsh response, Musk doubled down.

“Let’s try this then: the will of the people who live in the Donbas & Crimea should decide whether they’re part of Russia or Ukraine,” he tweeted with a “yes” or “no” poll.

To this, Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda fired back: “Dear @elonmusk, when someone tries to steal the wheels of your Tesla, it doesn’t make them [the] legal owner of the car or of the wheels. Even though they claim both voted in favor of it. Just saying.”

The official Twitter account of the Ukrainian news outlet, Kyiv Post, wrote of Musk’s original proposal:…
